S'Mores Cookies

 Are you ready for spring? Are you already thinking about summer? (I am, if only because of our weeks in Tampa, oh 80 degrees - how I miss you!) If so, you may be thinking about campfires and warm nights too, and the very best part of campfires - s'mores! Well here's a way you can have your s'mores and eat them too - even if there is still snow on the ground. (Like there is at my house right now)

S'Mores Cookies! :-) They have graham cracker crumbs in the cookie, and marshmallows and chocolate pieces on top! Yummy! Here's the recipe:

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 dash of cinnamon
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs
2 cups miniature chocolate chips
1 1/2 cups mini marshmallows
2 Hershey bars, chopped

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

In a medium bowl combine the flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking soda, salt, and dash of cinnamon. In a second larger bowl beat together the butter, sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract until creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Slowly beat in the flour mixture until smooth. Stir in the chocolate chips. Drop by rounded tablespoon onto ungreased cookie sheet.

Bake for 8 minutes, and remove from the oven. Push 3 to 4 marshmallows and a few pieces of hershey bar into each cookies. Return to the oven and bake an additional 3-4 minutes until fully cooked. Cool cookies on a wire rack.

Makes approximately 4 dozen cookies.

I found the addition of chocolate chips to be excessive. I mean seriously, these things are already suuuper sweet. But if chocolate chips are your thing, by all means add them. Also, my batch made 2 dozen cookies, not 4. Come to think of it, my batches never make as many as the recipe says. Does that mean my portion sizes are off? :-) Surely not. 

Anyways, these were yummy and tasted like cozy comfort food in a cookie. Which I suppose cookies are always comforting, so that is kind of an irrelevant statement. Oh well. Make them and let me know what you think. :-)
